Thanks for the update, that explains everything. I hardly know git, and before
yesterday I didn't even know what git or what bisecting was...it's a bit
overwhelming.

That is like magic :-) How did you get git to give you the source of that patch
so quickly  ?
(I googled for hours on this stuff without success)

I assume that I have to enable debug log via a bootoption because I couldn't
find anything in menuconfig that wasn't already marked for inclusion.
What bootoption do I have to use to enable the right (and right amount of)
debug logging ? (and after that, where do I find the log output?)

I don't even know yet what that is or how to do that, even after reading the
man pages about checkout, tag, revert and commit; but I'm convinced I'll get
there in the end ;-)
